Indeed, Zhao Sixi pouted and almost couldn’t hold back her golden beans again. She bit her lip and lowered her head in self-blame, “Because Doctor Si suddenly disappeared after going to our village……” Before she could finish, she was interrupted by the hand on her head.

Si Qingyu patted her head, the corner of her mouth curving into an extremely faint smile, “You can’t blame yourself for that. There were patients there, so naturally, I had to go. Besides…… nothing happened to me, so you don’t need to blame yourself.”

Those things were in the past, so she didn’t want to think about them anymore.

Hearing her say that, Zhao Sixi finally relaxed a bit. She looked up at Si Qingyu and asked timidly, “Then where did Doctor Si go these past few days?”

“Mm… I went to the capital.”

The capital?

Zhao Sixi was a bit puzzled as to why Doctor Si went to the capital without saying a word. She secretly glanced at the man behind Si Qingyu, shrank her head, and didn’t dare to ask more.

Si Qingyu gently patted her shoulder, “Alright, since there’s nothing wrong, go and work.”

“Mm!” Seeing that Doctor Si had returned safely, she felt relieved. These past few days, her heart had been tormented. On one hand, she felt self-blame and worry for Doctor Si, and on the other hand, she was terrified of Young Master Luo, causing her to have nightmares for several days and unable to sleep well.

Zhao Sixi was about to go and clean up the medicinal herbs in the medicine cabinet. These past few days, she had been in low spirits, and many medicinal herbs had been neglected.

But before she could take two steps, she was stopped by Si Qingyu behind her.

“Wait, Sixi, I’ll write a letter later. You help me send someone to deliver it to Lord Luo in Qianluo Town.” As Si Qingyu spoke, she walked towards the medicine cabinet, picked up the purple brush, and wrote on a piece of white paper.

Zhao Sixi stood on the side, scratching her head, a bit puzzled, “Doctor Si, why are you writing a letter to Lord Luo?”

“Wedding invitation.” She lightly said two words.

Zhao Sixi was instantly dumbfounded. Her first thought was…… She glanced at Si Qingyu by the medicine cabinet and then secretly looked back at Luo Shaoxuan sitting by the tea table.

Could it be……

She was stunned by this possibility.

While on the other side, Si Qingyu quickly folded the written letter and handed it to the dazed Zhao Sixi, “Be quick.” If they hurried, they should be able to make it in time.

Zhao Sixi stiffly took the letter and looked at Si Qingyu in a daze, “Doctor Si, who is getting married?”

“Me.”

“…… Oh.”

Seeing Zhao Sixi still standing there in a daze, Si Qingyu said indifferently, “What are you still dazed for? Go quickly.”

Being told this by her, Zhao Sixi finally reacted. Although she had many questions, she didn’t dare to delay the matter and hurriedly nodded, “Alright, I’ll go right now.” She stuffed the letter into her bosom and turned to walk out. When she passed by Luo Shaoxuan, she even timidly bowed to him.

Luo Shaoxuan coldly glanced at her while holding a teacup and nodded slightly.

It was not until Zhao Sixi had walked far away that Si Qingyu went to sit by the tea table, teasing, “What’s this? Sixi seems to be very afraid of you?”

Luo Shaoxuan poured her a cup of tea, the familiar gentle smile hanging on the corner of his mouth, “Maybe I look quite scary?”

“Mm, maybe.”

He propped his chin and looked at her, smiling ambiguously, “Then in the future, you’ll be together with someone as scary as me.” And it would be forever.

“Seems like I can only be like this.” Si Qingyu lowered her eyes and took a sip of tea, not noticing his somewhat morbid smile.

“Oh right.” She suddenly remembered that it was almost noon now, and they should go take a look at the house, “I’ll take you to see that house. It’s not far from here and is quite quiet.”

Si Qingyu had gone to see that place before. The environment was good, the house was big enough, and the courtyard was spacious enough. It was also far from the bustling market, quiet enough. However, when she first arrived in town, she thought it would be more convenient for herb gathering, so she moved to the mountains.

If they got married in the future, they could also live in town if he didn’t like living in the mountains.

Luo Shaoxuan naturally didn’t care. As long as he could live with her after getting married, it would be fine.

…

The two left the medical clinic and turned several corners before arriving. This place was indeed a bit far from the bustling market, appearing somewhat secluded. Si Qingyu looked at the plaque outside the door and walked forward to knock on the door.

The one who opened the door was a woman who looked to be in her forties. She looked at Si Qingyu in surprise, “Eh? Aren’t you Doctor Si?”

Si Qingyu smiled faintly and politely nodded, “I’m here to buy a house.”

The woman invited them in with a look of pleasant surprise.

Inside the house, Si Qingyu negotiated the price with her and paid the money on the spot. She was short on time now and had a bunch of things to do.

After settling Luo Shaoxuan here, Si Qingyu was about to leave, but as soon as she turned around, he hugged her from behind.

Si Qingyu paused for a moment and lightly patted the hands hugging her front, “Shaoxuan?”

“Mm…” Luo Shaoxuan buried his face in the crook of her neck and spoke in a muffled voice, “We won’t be able to see each other for the next two days, right?”

“Uh, that’s how it should be.” She remembered some elders saying before that the two people couldn’t meet before the wedding.

“It’s so uncomfortable……” His voice was full of grievance, “Just thinking about not being able to see you makes me feel so uncomfortable.”

Hearing his aggrieved, almost whining voice, Si Qingyu’s heart softened a bit. She coaxed in a gentle voice, “It’s just these two days. Endure it and it will pass.”

Two days was also a long time for him.

Suddenly, Si Qingyu felt her earlobe being enveloped by a moist heat. She felt a numbness at the base of her tailbone, and goosebumps rose all over her body. She struggled a bit, “Shaoxuan, what are you doing?”

However, Luo Shaoxuan didn’t let go of her and directly hugged her arms tightly, breathing hotly in her ear, pitifully, “I just want to hug you.”

“Then…… you can hug me for a while.” She had to hurry and finish hugging so she could be busy later.

Luo Shaoxuan hugged her tightly, his half-closed eyes intoxicated as he inhaled the medicinal fragrance on her body.

Time passed bit by bit. They maintained this posture the entire time. Si Qingyu felt that the person behind her might have fallen asleep. She lightly patted the hands in front of her, “Shaoxuan?”

As soon as she called out, Si Qingyu felt the arms hugging her tighten a bit more.

Luo Shaoxuan rubbed his face on her back with some irritation, and only after loosening his hands did he slowly let her go.

He turned around, his voice slightly hoarse, “You can go.”

Si Qingyu peeked at him, asking uncertainly, “You’re okay, right?”

The back facing her shook his head. Si Qingyu sighed. Why did it seem like they would never see each other again when it was just two days of not meeting?

“Then I’m leaving?”

“Mm.”

Getting his response, Si Qingyu took another look at him. Only after making sure there was nothing wrong did she leave.

The moment she turned around, the man turned his head. His pair of narrow phoenix eyes contained restrained desire, appearing even darker. He kept watching her back until it disappeared.

…

“Sixi, has the letter been sent?” Si Qingyu, who had returned to the medical clinic, looked at Zhao Sixi who was sorting medicinal herbs.

“Mm! It’s been sent out.” Zhao Sixi wiped her hands on her clothes and looked at Si Qingyu with shining eyes, “Doctor Si, you’re going to marry Young Master Luo?”

“Mm.”

“When, Doctor Si?”

“In three days.”

“…… Huh?” Zhao Sixi’s hands that were wiping her clothes stiffened. She looked at her in disbelief, “Doctor Si, this… isn’t it a bit too rushed?”

Si Qingyu nodded, extremely calm, “It is a bit, but Shaoxuan wants it to be sooner, so let’s just indulge him.”

“……” She just felt that Doctor Si would definitely be eaten tightly by Young Master Luo in the future.
